Yu hadn't had a good fight in a while. After a long stasis he had awoken to a whole new world and in this whole new world stood a whole new opponent. Eager to begin, Yu raises his right hand towards his opponent with his palm opened to display his paw in all its glory.

Shall we begin? He asks, ready as will ever be.

It just wasn't Byakuren's day. He'd planned his entire day based around a relaxing, uninterrupted, stroll through the blissful strands of grass inhabiting the ominous plains. But alas, his peace had been interrupted, by yet another battle-hungry stranger... He'd wondered if Kami himself, had announced a curse upon him unbeknownst; it was certainly a possibility. Shall we begin? The young man before Byakuren declared. A paw? Is that a paw? Byakuren voiced to himself, scratching his beard quizzically. The current generation were indeed strange individuals, but strange, often meant powerful, as Byakuren knew all to well; The Land of Water was full of strangely unique shinobi, ranging from the Hōzuki Clan, shifters who were capable of transforming their bodies into pure liquid, to the Yuki Clan, a clan of prodigious men, and women capable of turning water into ice, and snow. "You shouldn't seek meaningless battle with men, many times your age, my boy." Byakuren lectured. "Ohoho... However, since you've rudely interrupted my plans for the evening, perhaps I'll teach you a vital lesson. A lesson your generation seems to not grasp so firmly as I once inferred. This shall be a lesson in wisdom!" His trademark toothy grin played alongside his dry, olden lips, while simultaneously channeling his Suiton chakra two meters underground. In doing this, three small sources of water amassed, one in front of Byakuren, whilst the remaining two emerged between the young man's rear, and frontal position. "Ohoho!" Byakuren chuckled softly. "Class is in session." Once more flashing his shark-like visage.
700-20=680 |
| "Very well then. Teach meh." The young man before Byakuren broadcasted, a clear taunt through presumed arrogance. The old man's smile never wavered, even as he felt the ground below him rumble, an element he was far to attuned with to remain ignorant. Ohoho! So the child starts with Suiton himself. This shall be a promising bout! Having his feet near drenched with water, the former Mizukage allowed his chakra to erupt from his hand, using the water jet's powerful momentum to shoot himself horizontal; finalizing his position to the left of the young man's conjured sphere of water. Prior to his evasive maneuver, Byakuren had noticed the boy both, unsheathe, and swing his blade simultaneously, creating a vertical arc of wind chakra in attempts of bisection. Bloody mist! This child is mad, does he wish to disembody me?! His conscious voice heavy with disbelief. Then, came a long sigh, a sigh foretelling his decision on how he'd handle the young man before him. You see, Byakuren was never one for violence, although he could stand with the best of them. But killing? He loathed killing, especially ending the life of talented children with presumingly bright futures. However, if such actions became necessary... I won't hesitate. Despite his goofy, grandfatherly persona, deep in the depths of his soul lied a warforged shinobi of The Mist, his shark-like maw a clear representation of his dormant ferocity... A feature only few shinobi from Kirigakure possess, a symbol of demonic killers, far worse than the village's Hunter-nin, and widely proclaimed: Body Erasers. He saw no other choice, exhaling Suiton chakra into the atmosphere, forming a thick mist, and the clouding of both men's visual perception. Not a moment short, at the instant their vision had been severed, Byakuren manipulated one, of the three preexisting water sources heavily doused with his chakra; conjuring a rotating drill of water to his opponent's blind spot, in an attempt to fatally maim the child, presumably ending the young man's life with a swift death. "Bloody mist... Forgive me." He mumbled inaudibly.

Yu watched intently as his opponent propelled himself out of harm's way and also covered the field with mist.
"For an old fellow you are quite nimble, aren't ya? What are you trying to do????" he thought to himself as he tried to figure his opponent's intentions for ridding both of them of their sight. Immediately the mist started forming Yu decided to move from his current position in order to make it harder for his opponent to attack him in the mist. However, before he could do that, he hears the sounds of rushing water and the earth cracking behind him as his opponent's technique begins to break out from the ground. Yu instinctively attributes the sounds to a rear attack and responds by pivoting on his leftt foot to turn his body around in a clockwise fashion. As he does this he swings the sword in his right hand with in a horizontal arc such that it intercepts the rotating mass of water that was making its way towards him. Yu surrounded the sword with a paw bubble before he swung so as to further aid in his attempt to protect himself from the attack he had perceived. As the mass of water clashes with Yu's blade, all the force behind it is absorbed into the blade leaving behind only a harmless wave that drenches Yu.
As the water falls harmlessly, Yu makes the needle handseal and after turning towards the position he saw his opponent land after his earlier escape, spews a mist of nails at his opponent. Immediately after, Yu releases a gust of wind to blow away the pesky mist from his immediate vicinity. Although the gust he creates isn't strong enough to completely rid the field of the mist, it works in Yu's favor by making everything around Yu visible to himself again whiles his opponent on the other hand is still blinded by the mist around him.

| I believe the mist would simply reapply itself, shrouding your vision once more. I form this inference because you only used a short range wind technique. I believe to actually dispel the jutsu a rather large wind technique (long range & wide area of effect) must be utilized. I may be wrong however. Byakuren knew simply presuming his opponent's demise was foolish, something only a novice, or an extremely arrogant shinobi would allow. No, this old man had been the former Shodaime Mizukage, the head of Kirigakure in the Warring States Period; he knew what happened when you simply presumed. Death. Taking further precaution, after willing his chakra to amass into a rotating drill of water, the elderly man began to weave several handseals, pouring his chakra freely into the atmosphere. Nigh instantly, it began to rain — though this rain was of no ordinary origins. This rain had been imbued with his chakra, connecting each drop of water to his senses, allowing him the ability to depict chakra signatures in contact with the downpour. "He's still alive." Byakuren vocalized softly. This child is indefinitely much more experienced than the average shinobi, it seems I must take further precautions. Pondering his next move, a new signature of chakra came to his attention, the sensing rain allowing the prehistoric man to pinpoint, and gradually infer that a projectile of unknown origins approached. He'd take a chance, though not entirely without a backup plan. If this didn't work, it'd at least slow the momentum of the unknown down, and he'd still be capable of noting its presence. Clapping his rugged hands together, with the inclusion of chakra generation, a spiraling vortex amassed around him, acting as a temporary defense. Manipulating the technique further into its offensive state, the vortex altered into a large wave of water, racing toward the young man's position. Instinctively after such a performance, and his constant preachings of precaution, manipulating one, of the two formerly placed water source near his location to conjure a doppelganger. The water clone materialized to the right of Byakuren, as the man waited cautiously, syncing himself with the rain's sensing, formulating his next plan of action. "What shall you do next?" He whispered faintly.

Yeah. I agree the mist wouldn't be totally blown away and would probably return because you know, it's mist. The wind tech was just to temporarily give me a line of sight in case you threw something at me.
________________________________________________________
Somewhere in between shooting nails at his opponent and temporarily ridding his immediate vicinity of the pesky mist Yu noticed the rain that had started fall.
"Jeez. Like I wasn't wet enough already...." He exclaimed as he pondered what to do next. By the time the opponent's vortex, which could be clearly heard roaring over the gently tap-tap-tap of raindrops hitting the ground, could get to Yu, Yu performs 3 quick handseals(after sheathing his sword) and sends three powerful hurricanes towards his opponent. The hurricanes would clash with the incoming torrent and progress towards the old man sucking up the mist with their strong currents as they went across the field effectively erasing it.
"I guess now's a good time as any to try this..." Yu whispers to himself after his attack.
Without a moment's rest after releasing the tornadoes, Yu places both palms on his attire, shrouding his garment in a reinforcing aura. Then, he quickly performs the Dog hand seal while releasing his chakra into the atmosphere to accumulate storm clouds in the sky. Mere seconds after Yu had done this, the clouds began spewing rain.
At this point the mist that previously consumed the field had long being eradicated by Yu's tornadoes and both combatants would be in full view of each other. Yu notices the clone and smirks.
You needed a hand, old man?
625-20-20-20=565
| I presume you released the dog handseal, or simply didn't manipulate the abundance of water created by your Suiton technique because you never specified rather you manipulated the technique further. Your lack of specification makes it seem as if you just allowed it to rain, and nothing more, which harbors no ill-will to Byakuren. Byakuren could tell now, he fully understood this battle wasn't going to end using mundane tactics — no, for the young man before him was unique. The elder man clenched his jaw in frustration, he wasn't the most privileged individual when it came to stamina; his old age fortifying that unfortunate truth. The faint sound of another approaching mass came into earshot. As the mist began to subside, the scenario before Byakuren became evermore clear, as the two titans, wind, and water clashed in a battle for superiority. A result quickly coming to fruition. Bloody mist! My vortex is no match for the power of his hurricane. Mentally proclaiming this, Byakuren acted swiftly, once again clapping his hands together, allowing another large vortex of water to amass. Simultaneously the old man's doppelganger weaved several of its own handseals, creating a large basin of water, which began to expand immensely covering all present bodies in nearly a foot of water. As the vortex both defended against the young man's hurricane, and obscured his line of sight, it began to cascade into a wave of water raging with vigor at Byakuren's opponent. Byakuren instinctively had been alerted, as storm clouds began to form above, pouring rain in much heavier quantities than the old man's active rain. Not taking any chances, Byakuren acted accordingly. Channeling chakra through his body, Byakuren submerged himself into the newly formed basin, merging with the shin deep structure unbeknownst to his opponent. My doppelganger has enough chakra to combat temporarily with the child. He reassured himself, remaining hidden, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

As Yu molded chakra into the sky to create rain, he noticed his opponent disappear behind a whirling vortex of water. A brief sigh escaped his lips as he looked on in frustration. It wasn't that the sight was threatening. No. His frustration was more the result of all the water he'd had to work around since the bout began. It wasn't like he hated water. It's just that it was so....well, wet. As a precaution he'd refrained from using his elemental affinity so far but his opponent's persistence with water had almost tipped the scales against composure.
| "Again with the water," the young man retorted, clearly fed up with the incessant Suiton assaults. Byakuren couldn't help chuckling to himself silently at the child's remark, could the boy not tell his opponent's affinity lied in the versatile art of Suiton? If not, he would soon. The old man's sensory rain remained at a standstill, pouring continuously, allowing Byakuren a vague image of what'd been taking place along the surface. His clone's vortex had collided with another large construct, fighting once again for superiority; but this time both chakra signatures vanished. They must've cancelled each other out. He mentally forecasted, silently traveling in camouflage within the basin's contents, placing himself several meters behind the uniquely gifted child (short range). After positioning himself accordingly, Byakuren lied idle, allowing his water clone to take charge. The boy manipulated an obscene amount of water from his prior incomplete technique, producing a wave of rain water that rushed to the clone's location. The doppelganger acted accordingly, sending its chakra into the ground below. A pillar of water bursted to the surface, sending the clone into the air, avoiding the approaching wave. With not a moment to spar, the clone weaved the snake handseal, spewing a miniature ocean from its lungs, willing the liquid to form into a wave. The clone then focused chakra into its feet, riding the body of water as it roared forward, crashing into the young shinobi. Silent, and tactful, Byakuren submerged from the basin, facing the child's blind spot. Taking advantage of the clear distraction, Byakuren kneaded chakra into his mouth, spitting it into the boy's left Achilles tendon; resulting in limited/strained movement. Quickly after, retreating back, putting distance between the two once more. It was a rare sight, seeing the old man silent; silence made itself present scarcely, and when it did, it signified one thing. A strong opponent. Byakuren prepared for the child's retaliation, as he'd felt this was only the beginning. What other tricks does he have hidden... His mind lingered, preparing for the unknown.

: "He finna violate."Byakuren scowled in embarrassment at his clone's foolish attempt at utilizing a Suiton technique far above its pay grade. He witnessed the failed execution prior to attacking the young man before him; a sputter of water escaped his clone's lungs, and that was the end of it. Everyone was prone to mistakes, as it was in human nature, an inevitable outcome even to those with years of experience. Even after making a blatant mistake, shinobi worth their titles could turn the negative, into a positive, something he'd set forth nigh instantly at the sight of the clone's incompetence. The doppelganger refused to go out in failure, breathing chakra into the atmosphere, creating another veil of thick mist shrouding its inhabitant's vision. As the mist traveled quickly, the child's vortex engulfed the old man's clone as it fell from its aerial position, siphoning the life from its body, causing its form to dissipate into once it came; water. The Suiton Byakuren formerly spat at the boy seemed to have no effect, no signs of slow present, as the child surged forward in an act of Taijutsu. The boy's leg rotated backwards at an incredibly powerful, and fast pace aiming to connect with him. Does this child truly believe I'd not prepared for a frontal assault? Does he think me batty?! Insulted by this lackluster attempt, Byakuren altered his body's composition, reverting himself into pure water; the young man's leg sweeping clean through, no resistance given. Then it happened. With perfect timing, the mist shrouded the two men from one another, as Byakuren's lips contorted into his trademark toothy smile, showcasing his shark-like teeth. This was his home; the mist was something he was all to familiar with. His sense of clairvoyance, and mental fortitude while present in the mist seemed to increase, analyzing the options before him. Quickly a conclusion was made, as his body reformed into a solid. Nigh instantly, Byakuren manipulated his already imbued chakra within the mist to reflect the natural lighting, blinding the child even more so than the mist had. With his opponent blind, Byakuren used the advantage to retreat back several meters (mid range), lying in wait as the sensory rain continued to pour enlightening Byakuren of the child's whereabouts. Poetic justice, the blind fighting the blind. Byakuren joked, referencing the lack of vision in his left eye.

| You need S-Class to have a specialty bro lol (sucks I know, but we can only master a field (s ranks) at said rank), so you can't perform the lightning technique through a single handseal. This battle had raged on long enough. Byakuren sought to end it, here, and now. The incessant annoyances the child had continued to pester Byakuren with did their toll, his old body not as accustomed to physical bouts as they once were in his younger times. "Bloody mist!" Byakuren growled lowly at the young man, who had taken it upon himself to attempt a series of handseals. Registering this, Byakuren swiftly channeled his chakra into the surface, directly beneath the child. Nigh instantly, a pillar of water gushed sending the boy into an aerial state, disrupting the sequence of handseals needed to perform his prior attempted technique. Almost simultaneously, Byakuren slammed his hand into the ground, generating a large mass of water to form a couple meters above the child. The height of the liquid mass, coupled by the generated force of declension, would cause anyone unfortunate enough to be caught within its radius to be crushed by the sheer impact. "I'm not finished yet, boy!" Byakuren shouted with renewed vigor, utilizing his opponent's lack of prior movement, to manipulate the final placed water source near the child, to rise up from the ground in the shape of another spinning drill. The drill darted upward in clear anticipation to maim its intended target. Byakuren's gaze remain still, not allowing anymore room for inconsistency. This shall be your grave, child. He mumbled inaudibly.

White Priest | Shiro Sou: Having a pure and a subtle state of mind, the White Priest is not aggressive and not able to harm someone so He prefers to stay and recieve/endure attacks. This is thus the defensive variation of the Martyr hands where the user uses his hands to absorb the impact in an inverse repel fashion, however, he is not directly using his paws like "Impacto Daiaru", he will only absorb the impact of a technique, through anything that he touches be it tools, weapons, clothes/attire, solid matter, etc and not the technique itself. Techniques that have no physical impact are immune to this ability. Having placed his paw/paws on the object, he creates a barrier that is fused with and surrounds the object and with this he can use inverse repel which is able to contain force within it. Though the user is not able to infuse himself directly to be able to absorb said force, he is able to use the technique on a clone by placing his paws on him and likewise, his clone can also fortify him. Since the force is not directly absorbed into the user's paws, it can not add up damage to a following paw art jutsu but the absorbed force can be used in conjuction with "Black Priest". In the situation where a clone/body is used as the absorber, it would increase their physical force for a one time usage thus adding the said amount of absorbed damage to their taijutsu, and this stays until they use it once and then its no more, although this does not in any way increase their speed. Apart from Bartholomew legends that can use "White Priest" on an S-Rank level, a bartholomew member with lower rank can only use it up to an A-rank level. If A normanl bartholomew uses it on an A-rank level, he has to wait 2 turns before he can used it again, however, using it for B-rank and below only requires a one turn wait. If a Legend uses this on an S-rank level, He has to wait 2 turns before reuse, however, using it on A-ranks requires one turn wait while B-ranks and below requires no wait.
